$4.6m secured for learning and teaching

7 December 2005

Monash University has received $4.591 million under the Australian Government's 2006 Learning and Teaching Performance Fund.

Australia's universities were assessed on the basis of their undergraduate students' employment outcomes or further full-time study, student satisfaction, attrition rates and student progress.

Monash was recognised as a university with high achievement in teaching and learning.

Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Parker welcomed the funding.

"I'm pleased that this high achievement of Monash has been recognised," Professor Parker said. "The funding will be applied towards further improving the education we provide at Monash.

"Now that we have comprehensive unit evaluation and the Monash Experience Questionnaire I believe we can target certain areas, which will ensure we remain one of the best universities at research-led teaching."
